Cold Toon Sprouts
Overview
I made cabbage salad in the morning, and in the afternoon my second sister-in-law brought toon sprouts, which are in season, and immediately made toon sprouts for salad. Toon is called a tree vegetable and is the bud of the toon tree. Every spring before and after Grain Rain, the young buds of Chinese toon can be made into various dishes. It is not only rich in nutrients, but also has high medicinal value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that toona is bitter, neutral and non-toxic. It can stimulate the appetite, dispel wind and dampness, stop bleeding and promote qi, eliminate fire and detoxify. It is often used to treat hemorrhoids, eczema, spermatorrhea, joint pain, bruises, loss of appetite, scurvy and other diseases. Therefore, there is a folk saying that eating toona buds regularly will not catch diseases. There are many records of the medicinal effects of Toona sinensis in many ancient medical classics. For example, "Tang Materia Medica" states that it is mainly used to treat scabies and rheumatic jaundice; "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: If white baldness cannot grow hair, take Toona sinensis and peach, pluck the leaves, uncover the juice and apply it frequently.
